Chocolat

Rod Dreher among (many) others proposes Trad Life. There are reasons the Trad Life failed. The main reason was - what if your eternal husband is / becomes a jerk.

I did not like the movie Chocolat, I do not approve it, it didn't find an audience at the time, and objectively it painted its characters badly. But... there was something in it. Same as was in Pleasantville.

Anyone proposing an alternative to modernity needs to argue that alternative's benefits. Such a one should probably work on constructing those benefits. Ephesians and the Quran, and whatever other scriptures are out there, might not be enough anymore.
